Review: NOW White Chocolate, Fruit & Nut Energy Bar

So here we go with my second NOW (No Opportunity Wasted) energy bar review.  These bars are faced by Phil Keoghan, the host of CBS' Amazing Race, and are made with white chia seeds and New Zealand's own Manuka honey, which apparently is quite the bacteria fighter.  Like the last review, I managed to get my hands on this NOW White Chocolate, Fruit & Nut Energy Bar via a free sample and it's just a sample size (read:  tiny) representation of the bar, so the sizes and calories of this would not apply to what you'd find when purchasing this out in nature.  With that said, this sample is 0.71 ounces and has 80 calories with three grams of protein.

Review: NOW Honeycomb with Chia & Raisins Energy Bar

I can't remember if I've mentioned it here before, but when it comes to signing up for free contests, promotions and giveaways on Facebook, the web, etc., I'm a total rube.  I sign up for all of them.  I'm sure a lot of you out there think it's a waste of time (I know my friends do), but I will point out that in addition the countless free samples I've gotten, I've also won like $150 in gift cards in various contests, so it's not a totally fruitless endeavor.  With that said, I signed up for another giveaway a couple months ago and as a result of that giveaway, I was blessed with this NOW Honeycomb with Chia & Raisins Energy Bar sample.  Obviously, this is just a small sample of one of their bars, but it is a sample nonetheless.  NOW is a company endorsed by Phil Keoghan (CBS' Amazing Race host) that produced bars using Manuka honey, which is a type of honey native to his homeland of New Zealand.  Anyway, NOW stands for "No Energy Wasted" and I won't waste any more energy talking about the company.  Time to talk about the sample bar.  It is 0.71 ounces and is 80 calories with three grams of protein.  It's also all natural and gluten free as well.
